This site contains a comprehensive collection of resources that are designed to assist the entire clinical team in implementing a team-based system that will deliver care of the highest quality. The primary sources of material are listed to the right under the "Legend" and include ACP publications as well as external sources. The majority of the interactive "Enabling Tools" have been developed for ACP Diabetes Care Guide: A Team-based Practice Manual and Self-Assessment Program, created through the Diabetes Initiative project funded by an unrestricted grant from Novo Nordisk. More information on this project is available below.
The
ACP Diabetes Care Guide: A Team-based Practice Manual and Self-Assessment Program (book and CD-ROM) provides best evidence and practices for
diabetes treatment and facilitates team collaboration among physicians, staff and patients. The product includes a CD with multiple-choice test questions,
offering up to 15 continuing education credits for physicians, physician assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, and dietitians. The CD also includes an
array of interactive tools for both patients and members of the clinical team as well as a Patient Registries Tutorial that explains the basics of
selecting and using a patient registry.
Living with Diabetes: An Everyday Guide for You and Your Family is a new guide produced by the ACP Foundation for patients with diabetes.
Designed in a magazine format with lots of photos and a conversational style, the guide is an entirely new means of patient education in
that the emphasis is on action (what patients need to do every day to manage their diabetes), rather than on an exchange of information.
This guide is available in both English and Spanish versions.
